Services
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions provide personalized mental health treatment for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems, we help clients develop coping strategies and self-awareness. Each session focuses on creating a safe space for emotional exploration and growth through structured therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs.
Play Therapy
Specially designed for children aged 3-12, our play therapy services use therapeutic play to address emotional and behavioral challenges. Registered Play Therapists guide children through age-appropriate activities that build self-esteem, improve communication skills, and process traumatic experiences. This developmentally appropriate approach helps children express feelings and develop healthier coping mechanisms through structured play sessions.
Trauma Informed Counseling
Specialized trauma treatment addresses PTSD symptoms and complex trauma through modalities like Brainspotting and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Our certified trauma professionals help clients process distressing memories and develop grounding techniques to manage symptoms. This approach integrates mind-body connections to resolve trauma stored in the nervous system while maintaining client safety and control throughout the healing process.
The Safe and Sound Protocol
This evidence-based listening intervention uses filtered music to regulate the autonomic nervous system and improve social engagement. Developed from polyvagal theory, SSP strengthens middle ear muscles to enhance auditory processing and create physiological states of safety. The program reduces sensory sensitivities and supports emotional regulation through daily listening sessions using calibrated audio equipment over three months.
Couples Counseling
Our couples therapy program addresses communication breakdowns, trust issues, and relationship patterns using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method principles. Sessions focus on rebuilding connection through structured dialogue exercises that promote empathy and understanding. We help partners develop conflict resolution skills and create stronger emotional bonds through both individual and joint therapeutic work.
